Here is what our students and parents are saying

Hear how Doris Darvasi was able to schedule her 4 children at the same time.

“I am 6 years old. At the end of June I will be finishing my first year of music lesson. I like to play the piano because I like music and dance. It is so much fun to play. I was scared at the beginning that I will not understand everything because my English was not so good. With help of my teacher and parents, it is never too hard. I am very happy that in practicing piano I did so well this year. Hopefully I will be a great pianist or piano teacher one day.” Veronica Vlasaty

We have watched her grow from a nervous young girl whom didn’t want to attend classes in September to a proud, confident dancer on the stage at the June recital…To us, this school has nurtured a love of dance within our daughter that developed over 10 months of classes. The instructors gently guide the students to reach their full potential. They are patient and caring yet firm enough to instill a love of dance and the seriousness of the practice…Walnut Grove School of Dance is designed to meet the needs of its students to help them develop their true potential as dancers as well as instill a love and passion for dance.” Lisa Kinneard (Zoe’s mom)
